That's just it, there were NO splash hires available for us. Ray, or his equivalent, was the best we could do. My source was INVOLVED. We screwed the pooch with the TIMING of the firing. The hiring of Ray, bad as it was, wasn't the screw up. We did the best we could. Strick was wet behind the ears, and it showed.
